    Ive got the 32 inch version.

    Will this be your first led TV?
    Are you trading up from a different TV manufacturer?
    Do you have a need for usb - to plug in a hard disk for instance?
    What are you going to plug into it - Sky HD, Virgin Media or are you just using Freeview HD?
    Do you have any need for network connections?

    How do you find it?

    Second one, currently got a 27 inch Samsung LCD which I like.

    Never needed USB but might in future, does this not have it?

    Freeview and my Xbox, no other network connections needed.

    I have it connected to a PS3 (kids play ps3 games and i watch PS3 NetFlix) - its great. Vibrant colours and good sound - room isn't all that big though.

    I plug a hard disk into the USB and watch movies - need to have the sound turned RIGHT UP in this configuration for some reason but thats no big deal.

    I bought it as it seemed a good mix between cheap price and well known make.

    If the XBox has an hdmi port then you will probably see a great picture just like I do on the PS3.

    Freeview HD is great when I remember to change to HD channels! Often I just watch channel 1 and 3 etc and forget about HD.

    Cool, sounds good. Wall mountable? I look at the back and can't see where the bracket would fit.
